Hi team,
I'm sure this has been covered before but I thought I'd ask the idiot's question;
Is fuel-gauge sender failure a common issue?
Last night my fuel light came on so I put in a £10'er. Then it came on again and so I put in a £10'er, then it came on again. Average mpg as shown by DIS at the moment is 38>41 mpg and the gauge shows the tank as empty also.
I can't see a leak underneath at this point- or smell one.
What's involved in a sender swap? Do I have to recalibrate the system or does it just "work" with a new sender? How much hassle is it and does anybody have a parts cost...?
incidentally- I now drive a TDI quattro...
(don't want much from this thread do I??!!!)
Thanks in advance...
